What is living only in the presence of oxygen?
An obligate aerobe is an organism that requires oxygen to grow and survive. These organisms rely on aerobic respiration to produce energy.
The oxidation that occurs during cellular respiration differs from burning in that respiration?
In aerobic respiration, oxygen is used by the cells to achieve complete breakdown of carbohydrates to carbon dioxide & water; large quantities of ATP are produced. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen; only the glycolysis sequence occurs, and much less ATP is produced.
Is it true that 60 percent of the human oxygen?
No, humans do not use or consume 60 percent of the oxygen on Earth. The atmosphere is made up of about 21% oxygen, and human respiration accounts for only a small fraction of that.
Can human body breathe in only oxygen?
No, the human body needs a balanced mixture of gases to function properly. While oxygen is essential for respiration, breathing in only oxygen without other gases like nitrogen would lead to serious health issues such as oxygen toxicity.
Why does the body only accept oxygen?
The body primarily uses oxygen for cellular respiration, a process that produces energy for cells to function. Oxygen is essential for the final step of this process, where it helps in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source. Other gases do not serve this crucial role in the body's metabolism.
What materials is used for respiration and is taken in from the air?
The materials that are needed for a cell to go through the process of cell respiration are oxygen molecules. This is the only thing that is needed.
With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
When there is no oxygen for your cell the cells use this to get energy?
lactic acid fermentation. (produces lactate and is only about 100th as efficient as cellular respiration)
How do photosynthesis and cell respiration work together in the cycling of matter?
Photosynthesis is when a plant gets energy from the sun and cell respiration is the process of using oxygen to release energy from food. So if I am right the answer is they work together during photosynthesis cell respiration happens. I have an question why when it is only I by its self it has to be capital letter, why can't it be just i with lower case? Please someone answer. My minecraft name is CappyDog. I am on mc.minealot.com a lot hope to see you there ;)
Is O2 converted to CO2 during cell respiration?
No, during cell respiration, oxygen (O2) is used to break down glucose molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct of this process and is released as waste.
Why is oxygen nessecary in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration only . It is not required in anaerobic respiration . Oxygen is final electron acceptor and it forms water at end of E.T.C.
What does Dependent Cells mean?
dependent cell that can only grow with a substratum
Does anaerobic respiration occur in cytoplasm or mitochondria?
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It does not require oxygen and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Mitochondria are only involved in aerobic respiration, which does require oxygen and yields more ATP.
How might an organism benefit by carrying Out fermentation instead of cellular respiration?
Organisms prefer cellular respiration over fermentation.Cellular respiration gains a cell 38ATP molecules per every glucose molecule.Fermentation only gains 2ATP per glucose molecule.Obviously, you can see the difference. Cellular respiration provides much more energy for the cell, and this is why they prefer this over fermentation.There are organisms like facultative anaerobes that can preform either process, but they do cellular respiration if oxygen is available. These organisms only preform fermentation if they are in an "oxygen debt." (Like when you run, you are using a lot of energy, and you cannot get enough oxygen for cellular respiration. You are in "oxygen debt," and your muscle cells start doing fermentation. But your muscle cells prefer using aerobic reparation (cellular respiration) so you start panting. Once you get your breath back, oxygen is restored and your cells again preform cellular respiration and get more energy faster.)However, there are still obligate anaerobes that are poisoned by oxygen, and only use fermentation.Hope this helped!!
Oxygen is what in cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during cellular respiration. It is essential for the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through a series of reactions that ultimately result in the formation of water.
Is oxygen needed for respiration?
Yes, for humans and most other animals, but not for most plants and some bacteria.It is need only for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen
Does anaerobic respiration take place inside the mitochondria?
Anaerobic Respiration occurs only in the absence of Oxygen.
